The
Trisakti shootings ( , literally "Trisakti Tragedy") occurred at
Trisakti University,
Jakarta,
Indonesia on 12 May 1998. At a
demonstration demanding
President Suharto's resignation,
soldiers opened fire on unarmed protestors. Four students, Elang Mulia Lesmana, Heri Hertanto, Hafidin Royan, and Hendriawan Sie, were killed and dozens more were injured. The shootings caused
riots to
break out throughout Indonesia, eventually leading to Suharto's resignation.
